Matthew 24 compares the state of the world in the great tribulation to the days of Noah.
God didn't like how many wicked people there were in the days of Noah so in His grief (not wrath) He sent a flood. (Genesis 6:6)
Instead of a flood, He will send Jesus and angels to harvest the Earth. Matthew 13:36-43 explains the parable of the Wheat and Tares, Matthew 24 explains how the angels will gather His elect, and Revelation 14:14-16 is along this same point.
Wait it's not over...
Next, according to Revelation 20, there is either a literal or symbolic 1,000 year reign of Christ (still undecided because a day is like 1,000 years to God) during which time Satan is bound, then released, then comes back to deceive the nations yet again with "Gog and Magog." And God destroys them with fire.
Really starting to consider making some visual aids like a timeline and flowcharts. Thanks for the questions.
Revelation 20:7-10
7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

You DELIBERATELY reframed it.
Jesus SAID " before the flood" .
JESUS framed the time of NOAH. Before the flood.
What they were doing BEFORE THE FLOOD.
NOAH in the ark BEFORE THE FLLOD/ TRIB/JUDGEMENT/ WRATH.
Postrib rapture adherents MUST REFRAME the rapture verses.
They also MUST REFRAME the 3 CRYSTAL CLEAR " RETURNS".
REV 19
MAT 25
MAT 24
REV 14
1THES 4
3 DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT gatherings.
Hands down ignored and reframed by postrib rapturists.
Changing revelation????
Really?????
Wow
